Year 10 Geography Excursion
On Thursday 30 August Year 10 students travelled to Cronulla Beach to complete their Geography fieldwork for their current unit of work: Environmental Change and Management. As part of their studies the girls are completing an assessment task which has the dual focus of the Australian coastline and an international coastline of their choice.
The teachers (Mrs East, Mrs Ibbett, Miss Lansley, Mrs McDonald and Mrs Wilson) led the girls along the beachfront walkway, onto North Cronulla Beach stopping at the North Cronulla seawall, visiting the sand dunes and completing a beach observation at Wanda Beach SLSC. The girls gathered primary data from field sketches, photographs, constructing tables, fauna identification, observing the effects of longshore drift and identifying management techniques to support conservation of the coastal environment.
In all, an excellent and informative day was had by all reports. I’d like to thank the teachers for giving of their time in support of the deeper learning of the girls in the subject of Geography.
